PATENT era Q? E a HAROLD SPOTSWOODE' HENNAH, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.

Application filed March 21, 1921.

Z '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HAROLD Srorswoonn HENNAH, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, residing at 19 Maybury Mansions, New Cavendish Street,London, W. 1., England, have invented a new and useful Improved Meansfor Securing Sanitary Towels to Belts or Supports, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improved means for securing sanitary towels toa belt or support and is designed to obviate the disadvantages of pins,buttons and the like means hitherto employed and to provide securingmeans which in use will cause no discomfort to the wearer.

The invention consists briefly in a securing device for the purposeindicated having means for attaching an elastic suspensory memberthereto and hooked arms adapted to retain a loop on the towel againstunintentional displacement.

Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1.is a side elevation, and

Fig. 2. a front elevation of a device constructed in accordance with theinvention.

The device is made perfectly flat from celluloid or other like substanceand is provided at the top with a slot or other small aperture toreceive the end of an elastic member depending vertically from a belt orother support.

The lower portion of the securing device is formed somewhat similarly tothe base Serial No. 454,061.

of an anchor, the two arms extending closely up to the body of thedevice and leaving only sufficient room for a loop of tape or the liketo be inserted.

The elastic suspension member above referred to will cause the loop oftape or the like to engage the securing device around its narrowestpoint between the two arms thus firmly securing the tape whichthereafter can be dislodged only by the use of force or by pressingeither of the arms out of alignment with the body of the device. Thedevice provides therefore, a perfectly safe attachment for a sanitarytowel which cannot accidentally become unfastened or slip down.

I claim A device for securing sanitary towels to a belt or support,comprising a body portion of sheet-material having an upper memberprovided with a horizontal slot in the upper end thereof and constrictedin width towards the base, and arms projecting upwardly and inwardlyfrom opposite sides of said base towards the edges of said body portionsaid edges of said body and said arms being in opposed relation andsubstantially reversely curved to form slots of substantially circularshape terminating in short tapering slits where said arms nearly meetthe edges of said body portion, said member and said arms lying in a common plane.

In witness whereof I afii my signature.

HAROLD SPOTSWOODE HENNAH.
